Probably no other subject taught in oul
schools, is so satisfactory to both parent
and teacher as Reading" and we find
the Primary Form the hardest stage to
be taught.
The old saying "Well begun is halt
done" seems very applicable here, for at
ter right start it seems little trouble to
90 ahead. In my school, l have not one
child who is not of foreign parentage, so
have much more to look after than many
teachers with English speaking children.
The thought at the beginning, with
such school, must be the correct use of
language and this find very hard.
The Chart is the first aid to be used.
This 1 use until the child becomes famil-
lar with many simple words, which may
be combined into sentences or stories. |
commence with the word as a whole and
then separate into etters giving them the
names.
The picture lessons can also be made
very valuable, as means OF cultivating
observation, and also in weaving stories,
with small pupils.
introduce spelling by sound, letting
the pupils notice position Of organs used
to give sounds. This aids much in CIV
ing words their correct sound of the let
tiers.
The attention of the child should be
held first, to the printed, and then the
script form of the word, showing the like
ness of the two. A great part of the
child's work lies in copying from Charts,
board and reader. Those teachers using
Educational Series of readers find little
written work done, 80 great part must
be done ON board.
AS the child advances with new words
and new ideas, the telling of the story in
his own language, should form an impor-
tant object, as this helps TO increase his
vocabulary and aid in the use of Ian
guage.
The division of the words into their
simple elements or the Spelling work
should also occupy our attention, at an
early date. In the Primary Form, read
ing, spelling, and language can be readily
associated with the written work done
from reader and board. Attention should
here be paid to capitals and punctuation.
Require accuracy and neatness in the
work and let the child be taught to &C
quire rapidity in connection with the 9TH
er essentials. The work should then be
carefully inspected by the teachers and
errors noted. The diacritical marks
should also be taught in connection with
the spelling by sound. First, giving only
long and short sounds and then gradually
advancing. Distinct utterance of the
sounds may be accomplished by pro-
nouncing lists of words and letting the
children initiate you in fixing the organs
in right positions so as to give correct
sounds.
As the pupils advance from the second
and third readers care should be taken
to encourage them to read outside the
reader.
The children become tired of those
same stories and should have access to
books and papers outside of the reader.
have for my pupils three little papers,
for their respective grades. sour Little
